Tips for Finding the Perfect Hair + Makeup Artists

Get a Head Start: Start your search for a hair and makeup artist early to snag your favorite before someone else does!


Scope Out Socials: Check out Instagram and TikTok for hair and makeup artists in your area. Swipe through their feeds for inspiration and to see if their vibe matches yours.


Ask the Squad: Hit up your friends or followers for recommendations. They might know someone who can slay your wedding day look!


Try It Out: Schedule a trial run with your top picks. It's like a dress rehearsal for your face!


Speak Up: Make sure your artist is open to your ideas and willing to adjust based on your feedback. Your wedding day, your rules!


Be Budget Savvy: Ask about package deals and any hidden costs upfront. You don't want any surprises when it comes time to pay.


Lock It In: Once you find "the one," secure your date with a contract. It's like putting a ring on it for your glam squad!


Flexibility Is Key: Confirm your artist's availability and see if they can handle your squad's glam needs. You don't want anyone left out!


Trust the Tribe: Lean on your crew for advice and opinions. They'll help you make the right choice when you're feeling overwhelmed.


Get It in Writing: Dot your i's and cross your t's with a contract. It's not official until it's on paper!
